Orioles to wear Braille jerseys to honor the blind

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles will wear first-of-their kind big league jerseys with their names spelled in Braille, for its National Federation of the Blind Night.

The Baltimore Sun reports the jerseys will be autographed and auctioned online after the Sept. 18 game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

On Sept. 18, we'll recognize the 40th anniversary of @NFB_voice moving their headquarters to Baltimore and become the first American professional sports team to incorporate Braille lettering into our gameday uniforms when we host National Federation of the Blind Night at OPACY. pic.twitter.com/vU8ZDlXGOr
